Starting the Day with a High Fiber Breakfast
Have you started tracking your fiber intake? Is it higher or lower than you expected?
I've found that if I start the day with a fiber-rich breakfast, the rest of the day falls into place. Some great breakfast options are oatmeal or a high-fiber cold cereal (Fiber One is one of my faves). Pair that with serving of fruit for an extra boost.
Here's what I eat for breakfast about 5 days a week.

Here's what I eat for breakfast about 5 days a week.
- one serving of oatmeal (prepared with water), 4 grams
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (to act as a sweetener), 1.5 grams
- 2 Tbsp ground flax, 4 grams
- a banana (3g), a chopped apple (4g), 1/4 cup raisins (1.5g) or 1/3 cup craisins (2.3g)
- a dash of cinnamon
Other tips:
- if you have eggs for breakfast, scramble in some veggies for added fiber
- choose a high-fiber bread product if you have bread
- stay away from white bread; there is no fiber in white flour - none!
